Background and approach
Kathy works with people navigating LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria with sensitivity and respect. Kathy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person. Sessions emphasize exploring options, building motivation, and strengthening everyday coping skills.

Evidence-based methods and flexible online care
Kathy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes building coping strategies for stress and anxiety, teaching simple exercises to manage physical tension and racing thoughts. Another focuses on motivation and goal setting to help people move through career changes, grief, or life transitions with clearer next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathy will work with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and day-to-day reality. Together they try methods, adjust them as needed, and keep the focus on usable tools that make life easier between sessions.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video is useful for deeper conversations and eye contact, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat works well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy week and to maintain momentum over time.
